| pisces61's Full Review: The Learning Company American Greetings CreataCard... |
The first time I used this program at someone else's house, I thought I was in heaven! I had used some older, cheaper programs in the past that really weren't worth their price, so this jumped up to #1 on my list! It is very easy to use and offers thousands of graphics to choose from! Needless to say, I went out and bought the program for myself. I now have a newer version than the one I first used, CreataCard Plus. Here are some features of the program:
Invitations
Easily create party invitations (or invitations to just about anything else). They offer some pre-made cards for a birthday party, wedding, baby shower, graduation, christmas and many more. They also offer a write your own section where you can select pre-made cards and add your own text.
Greeting Cards
This is by far the largest area of the program. There are over 4,500 pre-made greeting cards. You can create a card for any occasion imaginable. They offer pre-made greetings for every holiday and major celebration, plus a great section of cards from kids. They also have an add-a-photo section that allows you to add a personal photograph to the front of the card in many unique ways.
Announcements
Send your family and friends home-made baby announcements! Or an announcement for your wedding/engagement, new home address, even new job! You can also announce your meetings, school plays, retirement and pretty much anything else you can think of. It is very easy to change the text if the card does not say exactly what you want it to.
Multimedia Cards
You can even send someone a multimedia card via email! They have a pre-made card for Christmas, Thinking of You, Romance, Thank You and Birthday. Just insert your own message and send away!
Find a Card feature
This unique feature makes it easy to find the perfect card for the perfect person! Just click on the occasion, then who you want to send the card to, and it'll bring up a selection for you to choose from! How much easier do you want it to be?
Other Sections
This great program also has pre-made sections for signs, business cards, stationery, labels, awards & certificates, postcards, envelopes, stickers, gift cards, calendars and banners. Every project you have a need or want to create is available for you.
Creative Workshop
If you are a little more of an advanced user, you can use this area to create your own cards, signs, stationery, postcards, envelopes, labels, business cards, stickers, banners and calendars from start to finish. By choosing your own graphics and text, you are truly customizing it exactly the way you want it to be.
Forget Me Not
This is one of the best add-ons ever available with a design program like this. Forget Me Not is an easy calendar and address book for all your organizational needs! You can use the calendar to add events and reminders (and even set the reminder service to inform you of an upcoming event). This is very useful. The address book is the best part. You'll never lose your phone numbers and addresses ever again with this! Well, unless you decide to delete the program. - *smile* - You can add an individual or entire family to your address book. It has sections to add birthday and anniversary information. It also has a holiday reminder service so you can be reminded of holidays they may celebrate that you don't. And if there is anything else you need to remember regarding a person or family, you can use the Additional Info section.
Kid Lock
A variety packs cd-rom comes with your program that allows you to easily order new packages when you get tired of the old cards or want something a little different. There is an add-on you can buy for adult-only greetings. If you need to block adult-related cards from your children, CreataCard provides a wonderful Kid Lock feature. Just turn the feature on and set the password, it's that simple.
This program is highly recommended
I recommend this program to everyone. It offers features for beginners and advanced users alike. If you are so new to a computer that you don't even know where the Start Menu is, I still recommend this program. It is self-explanatory and so easy to use, no matter what your skill level. As you get better, you will find that the Creative Workshop gives you more advanced design abilities. If you are ever in need of creating any personalized project (or just want to have fun), you should have this program.
